we released a poll earlier this week that shows that it's a tie. it's a tie because of medicare and it's a tie because of mitt romney and paul ryan. the romney agenda is a huge problem. guest: love to have obama comp to that district. the fact is mitt romney. guest: we would love for mitt romney to go up to that district. guest: the fact is chris gibson would have a great opportunity to win this seat. he has a very good independent record and has shown it throughout the district. guest: he's voted with the tea party. host: barbara in new york city, democratic caller. caller: i'm serious, the tea party are holding our government hostage for all of these years. we have shovel-infrastructure jobs ready to go. we need that money to create jobs. the tea party does not believe in government anyway. they shouldn't be running for elected office and to see $20 million of unaccounted money to come in to flip state elections, this is incredible. they only allow $100,000 for a campaign in england. host: mr. harrison, what about the money? guest: listen, we wer

obama has a four-point lead up over romney, the cnn poll. the polls tightening across the country in those battleground states. florida, a democratic caller. alan, we will go back to our topic. caller: from the 2003 opinion, justice o'connor, it encapsulates it. the constitution does not prevent consideration of race. i believe they also said in that opinion that race could not be the primary factor, it could be one of many factors. i think that -- i would hope there could be a way where -- there were people that were more qualified. i think that procedure could be discriminatory, but i would hope that we would find a way to say that this procedure, as it is being applied, does violate the constitution, but not strike down all programs designed to include racial equality and be a diverse student body. host: why this system specifically? do you think it goes a step farther? it takes the top 10 from each school, and then for the next round of admissions it includes race at that point as well? caller: i think i agree with what the gentlemen sai
